May 11, 2009 - The reprint of my story "Clara, She Was: Unlikely Patron Saints, No. 3" has appeared in Shelter of Daylight (April 2009). In other news, I learned that the anthology in which my story "Patriot Girls" will appear sometime in 2009 will be titled End of an Ĉon and it will be put out by Fairwood Press. I'm excited! My nonfiction publications page has been updated to reflect several new encyclopedia articles I've written, including articles on the Harlem Globetrotters, the history of the bikini, and the Seed Savers Exchange. Finally, in case you hadn't heard, there's a new little movie out titled Star Trek. I was skeptical at the idea of going back to the original crew, but I found it to be great fun. Karl Urban as McCoy is fantastic!

January 10, 2008 - My story "Waterfall" is one of many stories available at the newly launched AnthologyBuilder site. AnthologyBuilder allows readers to create their own "fantasy" anthology by picking the individual stories they want to be included, which will be printed up in a hardcover volume at a very reasonable price. This is a terrific use of print-on-demand technology! Currently, all stories available at AnthologyBuilder have been previously published elsewhere, and there are also some stories that have fallen into the public domain. If there's an author whose story or stories you'd like to see there, why not send the author an e-mail letting him or her know? The more authors who participate in this project, the better those fantasy anthologies will be!

In non-writing news, malicious little elves have introduced me to Library Thing, thus ensuring that I will get little accomplished in other arenas of my life. My first library job was in cataloging, so this is the equivalent of introducing an addict to a new drug. My own library is not yet complete, but I'm getting there.

October 3, 2005 - There and Back Again -- we experienced our first hurricane evacuation. We live on the southeast side of Houston, in an area that became a mandatory evaucation zone for Hurricane Rita, so off we went. Two cars, (several) cats, and twenty hours of driving to get to Ft. Worth (normally a 4-5 hour drive), where generous friends allowed us the run of their home for several days. We certainly learned a lot about what to do and what not to do next time, although we hope there never is a next time. But if there is -- we will go. Assuming you have mobility, you just don't sit around and wait for a Category 5+ hurricane to hit you.
